We visited quite some time ago when the restaurant finally opened, and returned late this afternoon. I had no idea that the Sushi & Sashimi I ordered would be presented so spectacularly. There was a nice variety of sushi & sashimi, and though I couldn't identify each of them, everything tasted fresh & delicious. The restaurant itself is beautiful and our service today was excellent, and we surely won't wait so long before we dine there again. read more

Uber eats delivery for dinner. First time to try this restaurant. Can't say anything bad about the food, but it wasn't anything special -- except the salmon hand roll -- and I thought it was kind of pricey. So, let's get into it. I had pork gyoza dumplings. I think there were six of them, which was a decent size portion. But, they were pretty bland, not bad, but just. "Eh." The chicken wings, were a very nice size portion, and they were tasty and well seasoned. Disappointed in the seafood soup. One scallop, three shrimp, couple of calamari rings, lots of liquid, and some type of veggie. Frankly, the seafood was pretty tasteless, and the broth seemed more appropriate for some type of a beef soup as it had no real seafood flavor, and was kind of salty. Disappointing really. Side order of fried rice was a good size portion and was fine, nothing special. The salmon roll was first class with lots of tasty salmon and was good value. Yum! I asked for mustard in the notes, but did not get any. I did get about 10 packages of chopsticks which was odd. $40 plus a tip. I will look elsewhere next time I'm in the mood for similar food read more

We went here for a date night and enjoyed every minute. Lexie took great care of us and it was fun to sit at the bar and watch the chef prepare our beautiful dinner. Everything was delicious and I even learned about a few new fish I had never tried before. I appreciate the chef answering our questions about the different fish. We also really enjoyed the vegetable tempura. We will be back! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch, was very impressed with the whole experience. Staff was friendly and welcoming, whole place was well set up and clean. Seated promptly, and menus/drink order were taken quickly. Opted for one of the lunch bento selections, got the sushi bento (5 nigiri, chef's choice). This lunch bento option came with miso soup, green salad, couple of fried pork gyoza dumplings, and four slices of Cali roll. Got fried rice (touch extra, comes with steamed rice). Brother got the pork katsu, looked good as well. Everything was tasty, ample portion for a lunch, and was presented well. Saw a few other items going out to other tables, looks like they put some work into presentation. Menu is large and varied, looks like you could spend quite a bit of time working through it. read more

First of all, the inside of the restaurant has beautiful modern designs. However, I didn't have a chance to ask about all the teddy bears on the walls. Secondly, the waitress we had (Meagan) was very patient with us and able to answer all our questions regarding the menu without any problems. However, it is kind of annoying that she said the "spicy shrimp" roll was just shrimp on the outside and spicy mayo on the outside. When I asked for spicy mayo (since it didn't come with it) I was charged an extra $1.00. Not to mention the other several dollars I was charged for asking for stuff such as a tempura flakes and jalapeño. Would be nice to have some transparency. Third, the sushi was overall good. We did the lunch combos but also tried to Red Dragon Roll. Next time we will definitely try out other rolls. We were not huge fans of the Red Dragon Roll mainly because of the "lobster salad" inside provided an overall mushy texture. read more

Food is great and servers are attentive. Good selection. Cozy environment. I have been here multiple times and never had a bad experience.

We have visited a few times and have had a great experience. We typically don't order anything from the kitchen but have been with others who have. The soba noodles with chicken (my mom had shrimp) were a hit! This is not a hibachi style restaurant but they do offer it on their menu. A few of our favorite rolls are the Cowboy roll, Philly Roll (classic), scorpion roll but hands down love the sashimi. We had the love boat (on a visit) and the presentation was stunning. They are not fast, so make sure you visit with the intention to enjoy a slow served meal. They are on the slower paced side so don't expect it to arrive immediately. They take their time, so enjoy the wait with sake and conversation. read more

Masa Sushi - Scorpion roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waco, Texas

The place was packed so that got me super excited. Getting a menu and drinks didn't take long. The drinks are overpriced. Ordered gyoza, an Angry Dragon Roll and 2 orders of Katsu. It took 30 minutes just for the 6 pcs of gyoza to come out - way too long of a wait. We received really watered down miso and barely dressed salad while we waited. We ordered the roll at the same time as the katsu but only our katsus came out. By this point it was almost an hour of waiting. The server forgot about the sushi and we had to wait a bit longer for it because he forgot. A really long wait for overpriced, underwhelming food & experience. I want to say it's because they're freshly opened and they have to work some things out but I don't want to wait around to find out. read more

I came here in the afternoon to place a to-go order, the lady at the to-go/host station was unprofessional and rude. I was not greeted upon arrival and when I asked for a menu she sighed and seemed annoyed with my request. I placed my order and sat in the waiting area. She did not announce my order was ready and just sat it down expecting me to know that the order was in fact mine. The food is great, however the service I cannot say is the same. Very disappointing. read more

Masa Sushi - Vampire roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waco, Texas

We came in Friday night . Our food was honestly disgusting . I took one bite of the spicy tuna roll knowing that it even looked funky . I spit it out into a napkin . The shrimp tempura in a different roll was old cold and not crispy. The appetizers came out about 15 mins after everything else . The miso soup tasted like water . The server was nice , but she was the only server there on a Friday night , and was too busy. Oh and the edamame came out on a dish that had old dried food on it . read more

Take out very good. Wonderful staff and very kind. Sushi fresh and custom made with modifications. Highly recommend!

Had a great lunch today! It was so tasty. It was our first time there. We sampled the different fruit teas, sushi, spring rolls and hibachi lunch specials. Our server was very tentative too. I highly recommend checking them out. read more

First time trying Masa Sushi. Stopped for a quick afternoon lunch on a Saturday. Greeted promptly and sat quickly. Tried the spicy edamame and the fried veggie dumplings. Both hot, fresh and tasty. Had three different sushi rolls & none disappointed. The wasabi was fresh and flavorful. Service was great, friendly and showed prompt attention. There was plentiful seating and will definitely try again. read more

My daughter and I went here for lunch. First of all all they did an amazing job with the aesthetic to the restaurant. It's beautiful and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the bento box with shrimp tempura. It was delicious and came with some sushi and Gyoza that was delicious. I would say that the California roll was my favorite thing on my plate even though I liked everything. my daughter ordered a milk tea, Boba and loved it. She also had the lunch special with two sushi rolls, which was more than she could eat. She had the tuna and avocado roll and the salmon and avocado roll. The salmon avocado was her favorite. We can't wait to come back and try some more things. I highly recommend. read more

Lovely meal here last week. The nigiri was so soft and buttery with no fat or ligament. Thankful to have a new sushi place near Waco! The rolls were scrumptious and they had special deals. Didnt order the ika Tempura as it was breaded in panko which is not traditional Tempura. That was my only disappointment. The katsu was also great! Just beware the doiley put on the plate will get soft and tear when cutting the meat. Otherwise it was lovely! We'll be back! read more

Finally!! A great sushi place in Waco/Woodway. We have been waiting since the sign went up over a year ago but they are finally open. Went there tonight for sushi and they did not disappoint! I have a usual order that I make a sushi restaurants to check how good they are and these guys nailed it. The service was great and the sushi was fresh and correctly made. Great atmosphere and both a sushi bar and a regular bar. Prices are ok and in line with other places. Portions were great so no complaints about value. We sat at the sushi bar and watches the chefs. They are 100% authentic Japanese sushi place. Yes they have all the fancy rolls but my go to is what I have been eating for 30 years. Sushi, sashimi, and normal Japanese style rolls. Everything was fresh and a good amount of fish. No H-E-B paper thing fish on rice. One person near us had the vegetable tempura and it was a huge portion. I looked great. We had the warm saki and the portion was almost more than I could drink....and I can drink. The saki was $9 which was great and it was good stuff. Greta's place for dates or just going sushi crazy. Not sure about the Christmas music in June but it did make me laugh. The only other good sushi place is in Union Hall but this one is way closer and I love a traditional sushi place. read more

The food is to die for and has the cleanest and best service possible and all the employees are so nice and kind. Kiki is amazing!!

I went there yesterday for lunch. The place was quiet and had a casual atmosphere. The staff were very nice and friendly. Service was a little slow but still ok. I got the shrimp tempura bento. The shrimp was good and the mix veggies were ok. The gyoza was very crispy and had some good flavor. The cali roll was ok. The miso soup needed a little bit more miso. The salad was the worst out of all the things. It was brown when I opened the container. They had just opened so I will give them another try. read more

Masa Sushi - Front to go menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waco, Texas

The sushi is ok but the wait staff is ridiculous. It's a bunch of teenage kids being rude. Whoever owns this place needs to seriously get the staff in order. While we were there - wait staff eating sushi and hanging out, one waitress talking to friends and not doing her job - people just watching tv like they are at home. We also always make a reservation - and the front staff always look completely lost and never know anything about a reservation. read more

Had to wait an hour for a Yaki soba. On a Thursday. First and last time I go. Would not recommend.

Service was nice. Food was Ok. Location was clean. question if the tempura was with fresh vegetables since I had asparagus in mine. (In winter?) Salad dressing was bland. I would like to see pictures of the food in menus and bento box options. read more

Well it's been a long wait from when their sign went up until their opening this week, but is was worth the wait. The food we had was fresh and tasty the ambiance was nice and the service was fair (the staff tried to be attentive without hovering over you, but maybe they could check with you a little more often. Will we be back? You bet we will, may even try their take out. read more

I had mixed experiences at this restaurant. The fried rice and coconut shrimp were excellent, and I highly recommend them. However, I was disappointed with the sushi; as a sushi fan, I wouldn't return just for that. Because of this, I'm giving a 3-star rating. The service was new since they just opened today, so I expected a few bumps. I believe they have potential for excellent service and great servers. I liked the atmosphere; it's an interesting place to eat and would make a good date spot. read more

We set at the bar and Dane was our server. She was so great! The drinks were amazing and the conversations were too. The sushi was probably the best in the Waco area. We will definitely be going back, any time we want sushi. The raspberry martini was my favorite drink. read more

Don't even stop soup cold lobster horrible sauce $20 season plain service good yellow tail tuna looked like from can

Average to below average at best. Still hoping for decent Japanese in Waco. We tried several items to get an overall feeling of the restaurant. We got the gyozas, king crab roll, masa roll, pirate roll, nigiri (toro and eel), and hibachi filet with fried rice. The gyozas had a decent flavor but were slightly cold. The rolls were just average. The toro, which should be the star of the show, SUCKED. It was inedible and we refused to pay for it. Extremely tough and still 10% frozen? Just very weird. Eel was cold. The hibachi filet had zero browning on the meat. Tasted steamed almost. Salad and soup tasted off. Our server was sweet but there was a slight language barrier. I'm very surprised at the great reviews. Can't envision going back. read more

All the food and staff were amazing--it was a hit with the kiddos and the staff were so kind to them! We have been waiting for this place to open up for a while now, and it was definitely worth the wait! The Godzilla roll and the spicy ramen were top faves! So fresh and lots of flavor. The Naruto appetizer was amazing as well! We're going again this week for my birthday! Great sushi place! Highly recommend! read more
